Camp Green Acres Notes: 

Special camp clothing is not required. Please remember to clearly label all items (including goggles, water bottles, shoes, GA clothing, etc.) with first and last names in order to help us return lost items to you. We recommend that you attach a labelled luggage tag to your child’s backpack

All campers receive a complimentary draw string water resistant cinch bag on their first day of camp to be used for wet bathing suits. Please empty and resend to camp everyday.


Please ensure that a labeled water bottle is sent to camp with your child everyday.

FRIDAY SPIRIT RALLY
Our Friday Spirit Rallies are one of the most anticipated events of the week. Even though camp looks different this year, we will adapt Spirit Rally to ensure proper social distancing!
Every Traditional Camp unit as well as All-Star, is assigned a unit colour. In keeping with the spirit of the day, we ask that you try to ensure that your campers come dressed (at least one piece of clothing, preferably a top) in their unit colours which are outlined below:
  • Beavers (JK) - Red
  • Seniors (3-4) - White
  • Buffaloes (SK) - Yellow

  • LTPs - Black
  • Eagles (2) - Light Blue

  • Pack a reasonably sized lunch - 1 lunch choice and 2-3 snacks is sufficient. Too much choice can be overwhelming
  • Velcro running shoes are preferred over laces

    be forgotten at camp
